Blood corpuscles "are usuallyfcounted by means 'of haemacytometers divided into squareson the metric system,- generally 4:00

squares to a millimetre. In order to obtain 5 correct results it is usual to arrange the squares-in groups and this is effected by means of auxiliary grooves run through the centre of the outer squares of each group, The better to distinguish between the principal 'andthe auxiliarygrooves the latter are placed tWo or three together at a distance from one another of 0005-0025 milli 7 metre. j w v I The employment of the auxiliary grooves complicates the manufacture of thelinstru ment and has moreover thefdisadvanta ge of preventing the uniformdistributionof the "blood corpuscles' over the surface thereof." The average size of a blood corpuscle is 7.9;; although some corpuscles may measure as 'much asg9.3 and others as little as 6.5 4, When three auxiliary grooves are placed together, the spacing of the grooves equals sub,-v stantiallythe size of the blood corpuscles, and the latter will thereforehave a tendency [to crowd about theflgrooves instead of distributing themselves over the entire field;
